Description
This charming story follows twelve families and their tightly knit street in 1950s Glasgow as they rebuild their lives after the war. Strong friendships and community bonds soon take hold, but not without facing challenges such as poverty, prejudice, heartbreak, and loss.
Against this backdrop of everyday struggles, young love blossoms for some, while others discover new paths and directions. At the heart of it all is a strong sense of Scottish humour and resilience, which ultimately prevails in the face of adversity.
Robert Douglas's first novel brings to life a time and place that will resonate with readers everywhere, reminding us of the power of friendship and community in overcoming even the toughest challenges.
